"From a 0.12 ha parcel of vines on the Chassagne side planted in 1926 and abutting one of the parcels owned by the Domaine de la RomanÊe-Conti. As one would reasonably expect given the superb track record of Niellon's Bâtard, this is a clear step up in virtually every aspect with another dimension of aromatic elegance and complexity to the ripe and slightly exotic nose of both yellow and white orchard fruits and acacia blossom. The big, rich and sweet flavors are massively scaled yet despite all of the size and weight, it remains in absolutely perfect balance as the outstanding density of the mid-palate buffers completely the firm acid spine."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Chassagne-Montrachet is a village AOC in Burgundy's Cote de Beaune with numerous Premier Crus, renowned above all for rich, nutty, mineral Chardonnay whites, though it also makes firm Pinot Noir reds.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
